Students identify triangles in the real world and construct their own triangle using drinking straws. They explore abstract triangles and find additional geometric shapes such as trapezoids. Students discuss similar shapes and examine...

There are five shapes for scholars to identify: rectangle, circle, square, trapezoid, and triangle. Although there isn't much here, consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Ask kids to verbalize attributes of each...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Concepts are only valuable if they are applicable. An informative resource uses concepts developed in lessons 26 and 27 in a 36-part series. Scholars write equations and solve for missing side lengths for given right triangles....

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

In need of math vocabulary cards? Use a set of 66 vocabulary cards with topics focused mostly on geometry terms. Each sheet has two cards on it. The top half has the word printed in bold text, while the bottom half has the card with...

Discover the relationship between tangent lines and the tangent function. Class members develop the idea of the tangent function using the unit circle. They create tables of values and explore the domain, range, and end behavior of...

Students practice putting together a net. The goal of the lesson is to prepare materials and assemble them into a net. The students enjoy this type of lesson because of the hands-on teaching style.

Students engage in a series of loco-motor activities based on shapes. In this loco-motor lesson, students demonstrate physical skills through races, jumping, hopping, galloping in circles, squares, rectangles and triangles.

In this geometry worksheet, students match the geometry term with its definition. Students match 12 geometry terms with their definitions.

In this math activity, students practice answering the questions for finding the hypotenuse of the given triangles while using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students explore magnetic fields. In this science lesson, students create a magnetic field using electricity. Students observe the effect of a magnetic field on the compass needle.

In this geometry instructional activity, learners match terms with definitions, and complete short answer questions about polygons and congruency.

Students explore the history of Pythagoras and his contributions to mathematics. In this middle school geometry lesson, students use one inch tiles to investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and to find the length of the sides of a right...

Students simulate the Earth's revolution around the sun using CEENBoT. In this earth science lesson students calculate the Earth's distance in AU and it's speed of revolution. They explain how the Earth's movement cause seasonal variation.

Students examine how spacecraft land on Mars. Using eggs or lightbulbs, they design a craft that withstand a drop from a table or ladder, competing in groups to see which module demonstrates the most successful landing.

In this conditional statements worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they determine if a conclusion can be reached from the two statements using the law of detachment or the law of syllogism....

Students experiment with a simple periscope to see how it reflects light. They draw a diagram of the path a ray of light follows as it travels from an object, through the periscope, and into your eye.

Students gather data relating to trees in their environment. In this biology lesson plan, students determine heights of trees and their ages. A canopy map will indicate optimal growing areas for the tree.

In this confused words worksheet, students fill in the blanks to sentences by choosing the correct confusing word. Students complete 20 sentences.

Young mathematicians practice measuring acurately with a protractor. They convert measurements using a scale factor, then translate the new information into diagrams. This instructional activity should be a hit in that it's mostly...

In this online interactive English vocabulary skills activity, learners answer 10 matching questions which require them to fill in the blanks in 10 sentences. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Students participate in an experiment to discover the properties of lift. They work together to complete calculations and collect data. They share their results with the class.

Young scholars construct clocks and then learn how to read a clock face, tell time, and determine how much time has elapsed.
